McCallum and Canadian Soil

: They are expected to arrive on Canadian soil within days, according to CTV. I’ve been around the country as a cheerleader, if you like, encouraging all Canadians to participate, but this is the first time I’ve been in a real apartment which will soon receive real refugees, McCallum said. McCallum was in a Toronto apartment Saturday to help assemble furniture for a Syrian mother and her five children. The family was privately sponsored by Room For More, a Toronto-based volunteer organization. I’ve said many times this is not a government project, this is a national project, McCallum said. McCallum says he hopes similar plans will mushroom in businesses and families across Canada. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
